Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Critical Metals Corp. is updating investors on two major transactions and their financial impact. The company has completed increasing its ownership in Tanbreez Mining Greenland A/S to 92.5%, and has signed a binding Scheme Implementation Deed to acquire all shares and listed options of European Lithium Ltd, subject to European Lithium shareholder approval and other conditions, with completion expected in the second half of 2026.

The filing furnishes audited historical financial statements for Tanbreez and European Lithium and unaudited pro forma financial information for Critical Metals prepared under U.S. SEC rules. European Lithium reported a A$96.8 million loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2025 and held A$20.0 million in cash at that date, but subsequently realised approximately A$357.4 million of cash proceeds by selling Critical Metals shares, resulting in cash of about A$293.5 million and current liabilities of about A$0.3 million as of 15 June 2026.

Insights

Critical Metals is consolidating key lithium and rare earth assets while absorbing loss-making operations.

Critical Metals Corp. now effectively controls Tanbreez with a 92.5% stake and plans to acquire all of European Lithium Ltd via interdependent Australian schemes of arrangement, conditional on European Lithium shareholder approval and other requirements.

European Lithium’s 2025 financials show a A$96.8 million loss after tax and a working capital deficit, driven by consulting, share-based payments and exploration-related charges, typical of pre-production miners. However, it later generated about A$357.4 million of cash by selling Critical Metals shares, leaving A$293.5 million in cash and only about A$0.3 million of current liabilities as of 15 June 2026.

The 6-K also provides pro forma financial information combining Tanbreez and European Lithium with Critical Metals under SEC rules. This helps investors see how the enlarged group’s balance sheet and earnings profile might look once the pending European Lithium acquisition closes in the second half of 2026, assuming conditions are satisfied.

Scheme Implementation Deed regulatory
"the Company entered into a binding Scheme Implementation Deed under which the Company will acquire all of the issued shares and listed options of European Lithium Ltd."
A scheme implementation deed is the legal agreement that sets out how a court-approved plan to reorganize or transfer a company will actually be carried out, acting like a detailed recipe or blueprint for the steps, timings and responsibilities needed to complete the deal. Investors care because it binds the parties to specific actions that affect ownership, shareholder rights and payments, and it determines when and how the financial changes they expect will occur.
pro forma condensed financial information financial
"99.4* | | Unaudited pro forma condensed financial information."
going concern basis financial
"The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities"
warrants liability financial
"Warrants liability | | 62,452,403 | | | | 56,755,581"
Warrants liability is an accounting label for warrants when they are treated as a company obligation rather than equity. Think of a warrant like a coupon that might force the company to hand over cash or change the amount of stock depending on future events; when those outcomes aren’t fixed, accountants put it on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. For investors this matters because it can increase a company’s reported debt, affect future cash needs, and change potential share dilution and valuation.
Monte Carlo Simulation financial
"The fair value of the PIPE Investor Warrants is estimated ... using the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) pricing model"
A Monte Carlo simulation is a computerized way to model many possible future outcomes by running thousands of randomized “what-if” scenarios, like rolling dice repeatedly to see the range of results. For investors it shows the probability of different returns, losses, or timing outcomes under varied assumptions, helping quantify uncertainty and compare risk — similar to using many practice runs to judge how often a plan succeeds or fails.
Regulation S-X regulatory
"historical financial statements of Tanbreez and European Lithium, as required by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X"
A set of U.S. securities rules that prescribes how public companies must prepare, present and have audited their financial statements and related exhibits. It lays out formats, required schedules and minimum disclosure standards so financial reports follow a consistent structure. For investors, this consistency and verification act like a standard recipe and inspection checklist, making financial statements easier to compare, trust and use for valuation decisions.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 

1.CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

The financial report of European Lithium Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group) for the year ended 30 June 2024 and 2025 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 19 June 2026.

 

European Lithium Limited is a public company incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

 

2.SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

a)Basis of preparation

 

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The Company is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements.

 

The financial report has also been prepared on the accruals basis and historical cost basis with the exception of the Group’s listed investment which is stated at fair value.

 

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the financial report except where stated.

 

b)Going concern

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

 

For the year ended 30 June 2025 the Group incurred a loss after income tax of A$96,790,991 (30 June 2024: A$200,278,301), net cash outflows from operating activities of A$24,831,646 (30 June 2024: A$20,769,599), a working capital deficit of A$68,690,260 (30 June 2024: A$64,795,083) or a working capital deficit of A$6,237,857 (30 June 2024: A$8,039,502) when excluding warrants liabilities that will be settled in CRML shares and at that date had cash on hand of A$20,021,463 (30 June 2024: A$5,778,638).

 

For the year ended 30 June 2025, the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and to continue to fund its planned expanded activities was dependent on:

 

Raising further capital by CRML;

 

Receiving funds from the exercise of warrants;

 

Receiving funds from the divestment of its listed shares;

 

Continued support from non-related party creditors in respect to the payment of overdue amounts; and

 

Reducing operational costs and spend on exploration.

 

Subsequent to 30 June 2025, commencing 9 July 2025 through to 5 February 2026, the Group has divested a portion of its shareholding in CRML through a series of transactions, receiving aggregate net proceeds of approximately A$357,405,903. As a result of these transactions, the Group's cash position has increased substantially

 

As at 15 June 2026, the Group had cash on hand of approximately A$293.5 million and current liabilities of approximately A$0.3 million and as such the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 

c)Application of new and revised accounting standards

 

Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards

 

In the year ended 30 June 2025, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the full year reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2024. As a result of this review, the Directors have applied all new and amended Standards and Interpretations that were effective as at 1 July 2024 with no material impact on the amounts presented and the disclosures included in the financial report.

 

New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted

 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2025 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations has not identified any impact.

 

d)Principles of consolidation

 

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 34 to the financial statements.

 

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity and are initially measured at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets. This election is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition date, the carrying amounts of non-controlling interests are adjusted for the non-controlling interests’ share of changes in equity.

 

All inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the Parent Entity.

 

e)Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

 

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

 

Share-based payment transactions

 

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of unlisted equity-settled transaction is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The fair value of listed equity-settled share options granted was based on the fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets based on the quoted market prices at the grant date (note 27).

 

Warrants

 

The Group measures the cost of warrants by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted and at reporting date. The fair value of the unlisted warrants is determined using a Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The fair value of listed warrants was based on the fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets based on the quoted market prices at reporting date (note 23).

 

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025 AND 2024Page 9

 

 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 

Deferred taxation

 

Potential future income tax benefits have not been brought to account at 30 June 2025 because the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to regard realisations of future income tax benefits as probable.

 

Deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure

 

The application of the Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgement in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits are likely from future exploitation or sale or where activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assumption of the existence of reserves.

 

f)Foreign Currency

 

Foreign currency transactions and balances

 

All foreign currency transactions occurring during the financial year are recognised at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items at reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

 

Exchange differences are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise except those exchange differences which relate to assets under construction for future productive use which are included in the cost of those assets where they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings.

 

Functional and presentation currency

 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the companies within the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency.

 

Group companies

 

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

 

assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;

 

income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and

 

all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

 

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold, a proportionate share of such exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.

 

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entities and translated at the closing rate.

 

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025 AND 2024Page 10

 

 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 

g)Exploration and evaluation expenditure

 

Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:

 

the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and

 

at least one of the following conditions is also met:

 

the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or

 

exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the balance date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

 

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortised of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.

 

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

 

Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.

 

h)Joint venture

 

A joint venture is an arrangement that the Group controls jointly with one or more other investors, and over which the Group has rights to a share of the arrangement’s net assets rather than direct rights to underlying assets and obligations for underlying liabilities.

 

The joint venture is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the joint venture is recognized in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognized in other comprehensive income. Investments in joint ventures are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the joint venture.

 

Any goodwill or fair value adjustment attributable to the Group’s share in the joint venture is not recognized separately and is included in the amount recognized as investment.

 

The carrying amount of the investment in joint venture is increased or decreased to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the joint venture, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies of the Group.

 

Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in those entities. Where unrealised losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment.

 

i)Warrants

 

Warrants as classified as liabilities because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment. Accordingly, the Group will classify each warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Groups consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

3.SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

IFRS 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. In the case of the Group the CODM are the executive management team and all information reported to the CODM is based on the consolidated results of the Group as one operating segment, as the Group’s activities relate to mineral exploration.

 

Minerals Exploration cover’s the Group’s main projects including:

 

Wolfsberg (Austria)

 

Tanbreez (Greenland)

 

Bretstein-Lachtal Project, Klementkogel Project, and the Wildbachgraben Project (Austria)

 

Weinebene and Eastern Alps Projects (Austria)

 

Leinster Lithium (Ireland)

 

Dobra and Shevchenkivske Projects (Ukraine)

 

Whilst the Group receives separate report for each of these projects, these projects have been aggregated into one reporting segment because management considers that they have similar economic characteristics as all three are exploration projects.

 

The measure of profit or loss for this reportable segment are the same as the amounts presented on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Profit or loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The measure of total assets and liabilities and the amount of investment in associated and JV accounted for by the equity method for this reportable segment are the same as the amounts presented on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Financial position.

 

Accordingly, the Group has only one reportable segment and the results are the same as the Group results.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 

Potential future income tax benefits arising from tax losses have not been brought to account at 30 June 2025 and 2024 because the directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the future income tax benefits as probable. These benefits will only be obtained if:

 

assessable income is derived of a nature and of amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions to be realised;

 

the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and

 

no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the realisation of the benefit from the deductions.

 

The Group is subject to taxation for its consolidated subsidiaries at the rates applicable in the respective tax jurisdictions:

 

Australia – Profits are taxed at the standard corporate income tax rate of 30%.

 

Austria - Profits are taxed at the standard corporate income tax (CIT) rate of 23% in Austria (2024: 23%), regardless of whether profits are retained or distributed. For the net unrecognised deferred tax asset as of 30 June 2025 a tax rate of 23% was used and for the net unrecognised deferred tax asset as of 30 June 2024 a tax rate of 23% was used based on the assessment of the future utilization by the management. Tax losses can be carried forward in Austria without time limitation. In general tax losses carried forward can be offset against taxable income only up to a maximum of 75% of the taxable income for any given year.

 

United States - The profits are taxed at the rate of 21% at the US Federal taxation level, without being subject to state taxation in the United States.

 

United Kingdom – Profits are taxed at the rate of 25%.

 

British Virgin Islands - BVI Business companies are exempt from any taxation, regardless their source of income.

b)Stage 1 interest – Issue of US$90,000,000 of shares in CRML subject to holding lock until 28 February 2025 to acquire a 36.45% equity interest in Tanbreez

 

c)Stage 2 interest – Issue of US$116,000,000 of shares in CRML equal to 95% of the closing price of CRML shares on the date upon which CRML meets a minimum of US$10 million on the permit within 2 years to acquire a 50.50% equity interest in Tanbreez

 

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025 AND 2024Page 20

 

 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 

Under the terms of the HOA, if the closing price of CRML shares upon expiration of the lock up period, being 28 February 2025, is less than the issue price of shares issued under the Stage 1 interest, then CRML will issue the vendor an additional number of shares equal to the difference between the Stage 1 interest in shares and the value of these shares at the end of the lock up period, provided however that this number of shares does not exceed 5,000,000 shares. On 28 April 2025, CRML issued Rimbal an additional 5,000,000 shares at an issue price of $1.37 per share equating to a deemed value of $6,850,000 (note 25).

 

Under the terms of the HOA, CRML has the right to appoint two directors to the board of Tanbreez. On 2 July 2024, Tony Sage was appointed as CRML’s representative on the Board of Tanbreez.

 

The Vendor is a company controlled by geologist Gregory Barnes. Under the terms of the HOA, at completion of Stage 1 Interest, Gregory Barnes was appointed Strategic advisor to the board of CRML.

 

On 12 June 2025, CRML advanced funding of US$2,000,000 to Tanbreez which is included in the cash investments sum disclosed above. Subsequent to the year end on 9 July 2025, Tanbreez issued 100 ordinary shares to CRML, converting the US$2,000,000 funding received from CRML to share capital. CRML increased it’s shareholding in Tanbreez from 42% to 42.001%.

 

As at 30 June 2025, the CRML Group had completed the Initial Investment and Stage 1 interest and held an interest of 42.0% interest in Tanbreez. In addition, the Company holds a 7.5% interest in Tanbreez and consequently held a 49.5% interest in Tanbreez as at 30 June 2025.

 

During the years ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 the Company has undertaken a review for the impairment of assets and not identified any triggers of impairment.

 

Significant judgements

 

Significant judgements and assumptions made in determining that CRML has joint control of Tanbreez:

 

In accordance with the HOA, CRLM is funding Tanbreez’s exploration activities. CRML has assessed that CRML and Rimbal jointly control Tanbreez’s business activities because:

 

oRimbal and CRML have equal representation on Tanbreez’s Board of Directors and as such there is required to be unanimous consent on Board decisions and

 

oMr Greg Barnes, being Tanbreez’s General Manager and Chief Geologist cannot be removed by CRML without Rimbal’s approval, noting that Rimbal is owned by Mr Greg Barnes.

(i)On July 4, 2023, CRML, GEM Global Yield LLC SCS (the GEM Investor or GEM Global) and GEM Yield Bahamas Ltd. (GYBL) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the GEM Agreement), pursuant to which CRML is entitled to draw up to $125 million of gross proceeds in exchange for ordinary shares in CRML, at a price equal to 90% of the average closing bid price of the ordinary shares on Nasdaq for a 30 day period, subject to meeting the terms and conditions of the GEM Agreement. The GEM Agreement allows CRML to access funds for general corporate purpose and working capital needs. In addition, at the closing of the Transaction, the GEM Investor was granted a warrant (the GEM Warrant) to purchase up to 1,814,797 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $10.71 per share (subject to adjustments described in the GEM Warrant) expiring on the 3rd anniversary of the closing of the Transaction. Further, in connection with the closing of the Transaction, CRML also entered into a letter agreement with the GEM Investor and GYBL to amend the GEM Agreement, pursuant to which, CRML agreed to issue ordinary shares in CRML to the GEM Investor as the “commitment fee” pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement and, on the 61st day following the closing of the Transaction, the GEM Investor was granted the option to sell such commitment shares (equating to 122,549 shares) to CRML for US$1.875 million (the Commitment Fee Put Amount). In addition, the GEM Investor, on the first anniversary of the closing of the Transaction, was granted the right to require CRML to purchase the GEM Warrant from GEM Global in exchange for a number of ordinary shares in CRML having a value equal to US$27,200,000.

 

On April 29, 2024, CRML, GEM Global and GYBL entered into a second letter agreement, pursuant to which, CRML was granted the option to deliver, in lieu of the Commitment Fee Put Amount on the date upon which it was otherwise due and payable, a payment of $3,020,000 on or prior to the 120th day after the closing of the Transaction.

 

On 27 September 2024, Critical Metals Corp (CRML) entered into a third letter agreement with GEM Global Yield LLC SCS (GEM Global) and GEM Yield Bahamas Ltd. (GYBL) to extinguish the existing arrangement in respect to the Commitment Fee Put Amount of $3,020,000. Under the new agreement, CRML is obliged to deliver a cash payment of US$3,500,000 (Revised Amount) to GEM Global within one business day following the consummation by CRML of a capital raising transaction provided that the gross proceeds received by CRML in connection with the capital raising transaction are equal to or greater than $15,000,000. If the gross proceeds received by CRML in connection with the capital raising transaction are less than $15,000,000, CRML shall deliver (i) a cash payment of $1,750,000 to GEM Global within one business day following the consummation by CRML of the Equity Capital Raise, and (ii) a cash payment of $1,750,000 (the Deferred Payment) to GEM Global on or before the 90th day following the Equity Capital Raise. If CRML does not deliver the Deferred Payment by the 90th day following the capital raising transaction, CRML shall incur a penalty of $10,000 per day, payable in USD, which penalty shall be added to the deferred payment amount until paid by CRML. If CRML does not consummate a capital raising transaction by 31 December 2024, CRML shall owe the revised amount of $3,500,000 and such amount shall incur interest at a 10% annual rate (which interest shall begin on the Commitment Fee Put Date and continue until such revised amount is paid).

 

On 28 February 2025, CRML has written to GEM Global and GYBL and is disputing the amounts payable. On 28 February 2025, CRML has written to GEM Global and GYBL and is disputing the amounts payable. In March 2025, the GEM Investor commenced an action in the U.S. against us, based on a breach of contract claim. These claims are now being arbitrated by the American Arbitration Association.

Due to their short term nature, the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost approximate their fair values.

 

c)Credit risk exposures

 

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if the counterparties default on their contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted the policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group measures credit risk on a fair value basis.

 

d)Interest rate risk

 

The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash. The policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate of return.

 

The entire balance of cash for the Group of $20,021,463 (30 June 2024: $5,778,638) is subject to interest rate risk. Profit or loss is sensitive to higher/lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents as a result of changes in interest rates. At 30 June 2025, if interest rates at that date had been 10 basis points lower with all other variables held constant, there would be no material impact on the post-tax profit for the year.

 

The balance of cash held on deposit against the offtake prepayment of $23,668,978 (30 June 2024: $22,483,483) is subject to interest rate risk. Profit or loss is sensitive to higher/lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents as a result of changes in interest rates. At 30 June 2025, a movement in the interest rate risks was not material to the Group.

e)Liquidity risk

 

The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Surplus funds are generally only invested in short term bank deposits.

f)Net fair value

 

In accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the financial statement, the Group measures and recognises the following assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis after initial recognition:

 

Financial assets at fair value through the profit or loss

 

Derivative liabilities

 

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows:

 

Level 1 – Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

 

Level 2 – Measurement based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

 

Level 3 – Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF EUROPEAN LITHIUM LIMITED

 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of European Lithium Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025 and as at 30 June 2024, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2025 and 30 June 2024, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”).

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.

 

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

 

Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

 

 

 

 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

 

As part of an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
   
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
   
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
   
Conclude whether, in our judgement, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
   
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
   
Plan and perform the Group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the Group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the work performed for the purposes of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them, all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

 

Purpose of this Report and Limitation of Liability

 

This report has been prepared solely for the purposes of inclusion in the Report on Form 6-K of Critical Metals Corp. filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and incorporation by reference into the registration statements of Critical Metals Corp. identified therein, pursuant to the requirements of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of enabling the directors of the Company to comply with their obligations in connection with that filing. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the directors of European Lithium Limited and Critical Metals Corp., in discharging their responsibilities in connection with this filing, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 

1.SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Statement of compliance

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

 

The Directors have assessed the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date of this report and consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the half year financial statements.

 

The condensed consolidated financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Group as in the full financial report.

 

It is recommended that this interim financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 and any public announcements made by European Lithium Limited and its subsidiaries during the half-year.

 

Basis of preparation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments to fair value. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

 

For the purpose of preparing the interim financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

 

Adoption of new and revised standards

 

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 31 December 2025

 

In the half-year ended 31 December 2025, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the interim reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2025. As a result of this review, the Directors have applied all new and amended Standards and Interpretations that were effective as at 1 July 2025 with no material impact on the amounts or disclosures included in the financial report.

 

Accounting policies and methods of computation

 

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding half-year with the exception of the below. These accounting policies are consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.

 

Accounting policy Cash, cash equivalents and term deposits carried at amortised costs

 

Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

Term deposits carried at amortised cost in the statement of financial position comprise long-term deposits with a maturity of more than three months.

 

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and Term deposits carried at amortised cost as defined above.

 

Significant accounting judgments and key estimates

 

The preparation of the interim financial report requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

In preparing this interim financial report, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial report for the year ended 30 June 2025.

 

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT DECEMBER 2025 AND 2024Page 7

 

 

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 

2.SEGMENT REPORTING

 

IFRS 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. In the case of the Group the CODM are the executive management team and all information reported to the CODM is based on the consolidated results of the Group as one operating segment, as the Group’s activities relate to mineral exploration.

 

As at 31 December 2025, the Group has only one reportable segment and the results are the same as the Group results.

The deferred tax liability balance of $39,959,803 arises in relation to EUR’s equity accounted investment in CRML. As a result of the deconsolidation of CRML the accounting carrying value was remeasured to fair value whilst the tax base was not remeasured. This gave rise to recognition of a temporary difference and consequent deferred tax liability.

(i)On 11 May 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into a Collaboration Agreement with EV Resources Limited (formerly Jadar Resources Limited) (ASX: EVR) (EVR) and an agreement to acquire a 20% interest in Jadar’s Austrian Lithium assets from their JV partner (Jadar Acquisition). EVR holds an 80% interest in the Austrian incorporated subsidiary EV Resources GmbH (previously Jadar Lithium GmbH), the holder of the Weinebene and Eastern Alps Projects which lies 20km to the east of the Company’s Wolfsberg Project. On 29 February 2024 in accordance with the terms of the merger Transaction, the 20% interest in EV Resources GmbH was transferred from the Company to CRML. During the period the Company no longer equity accounts for EVR in line with the deconsolidation of CRML.

 

(ii)The Company holds a 50% interest in the Australian incorporated entity John Wally Resources Pty Ltd (John Wally). This investment is equity accounted given the significant influence the Company has on John Wally through Mr Sage’s role on the board and the interchange of management personnel.

 

(iii)On 11 October 2025, the Company has no power to govern the financial and operating policies of CRML due to loss of majority control. Accordingly, the Company’s investment was reclassified to an investment accounted for using the equity method on that date (note 22).

 

(iv)As a result of CRML owning 42.005% in the Tanbreez Project at 31 December 2025, and the loss of majority control in CRML during the period, the Company’s investment in Tanbreez Mining Greenland A/S was reclassified to an investment accounted for using the equity method.

d)Impairment assessment

 

The carrying amount of the investments in associates was assessed for impairment at 31 December 2025. As at 31 December 2025, the fair value of the shares held by EUR in CRML was $550,761,132 based on the CRML share price at this date. Subsequent to the year end on 23 January 2026, the CRML share price increased to US$20.74 per share, resulting in the fair value of the shared held by EUR in CRML being $1,645,934,566 as at this date. EUR’s directors and management have assessed that because CRML is not experiencing financial difficultly, CRML’s exploration and evaluation projects and investment in the Tanbreez project is progressing favorably, and CRML’s share price experiences significant volatility and the fall in CRML’s share price at 31 December 2025 reversed in January 2026, it is not appropriate to impair EUR’s investment in CRML at 31 December 2025.

Exhibit 99.4

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

On April 29, 2026, Critical Metals Corp. (“CRML” or the “Company”) completed the acquisition of a 50.5% ownership interest in Tanbreez Mining Greenland A/S (“Tanbreez”), which increased the Company’s ownership in Tanbreez from 42% to 92.5%. This acquisition is referred to as the “Stage 2 Acquisition”).

 

In addition, on May 18, 2026, the Company entered into a binding Scheme Implementation Deed under which the Company will acquire all of the issued shares and listed options of European Lithium Ltd. (“European Lithium” or “EUR”) by way of two interdependent schemes of arrangement under Australian law (the “EUR Transaction”). Completion of the EUR Transaction is conditional upon a number of items, including, without limitation, the approval of the shareholders of European Lithium. The Transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 combines the unaudited historical condensed consolidated balance sheet of CRML as of December 31, 2025 with the audited historical balance sheet of Tanbreez as of December 31, 2025, and the unaudited historical balance sheet of European Lithium as of December 31, 2025, giving effect to Stage 2 Acquisition and the EUR Transaction as if they had been consummated as of that date.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2025 combines the unaudited historical condensed consolidated statement of operations of CRML for the six months ended December 31, 2025 with the unaudited historical statement of operations of Tanbreez for the trailing six months ended December 31, 2025 (compiled from the audited statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 of Tanbreez less the unaudited condensed statement of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2025 of Tanbreez), and the unaudited historical condensed statement of operations of EUR for the six months ended December 31, 2025, giving effect to the Stage 2 Acquisition and the EUR Transaction as if they had been consummated as of July 1, 2024, the first day of the earliest period presented.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 combines the audited historical condensed consolidated statement of operations of CRML for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, with the unaudited historical statement of operations of Tanbreez for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2025 (compiled from the audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 less the unaudited condensed statement of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2024, plus the unaudited condensed statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of Tanbreez), and the audited historical financial statements of EUR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, giving effect to the transactions as if they had been consummated as of July 1, 2024, the first day of the earliest period presented.

 

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that relate to material financing and acquisition transactions consummated or intended after December 31, 2025. These include the Stage 2 Acquisition and the EUR Transaction. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined company.

 

 

The historical financial consolidated statements of CRML, Tanbreez, and EUR have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The condensed combined pro forma financial information is prepared on an IFRS basis and is presented in US Dollars (“USD”), the reporting currency used by the Company.

 

The historical financial statements of the target entities have been translated into USD to conform to the reporting currency of CRML as follows:

 

The historical financial statements of Tanbreez were originally reported using Danish Krone (“DKK”) and have been translated into USD.

 

The historical financial statements of EUR were originally reported using Australian Dollars (“AUD”) and have been translated into USD.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The actual financial results may have differed had the companies been combined during the periods presented. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies been combined or of the future results that the combined company will experience.

 

Prior to the Stage 2 Acquisition, including as of December 31, 2025, CRML held a 42% interest in Tanbreez and applied the equity method of accounting for its investment in Tanbreez. Under the equity method, CRML recognized its initial investment at cost and subsequently adjusted the carrying amount to recognize the Company’s share of Tanbreez’s profits and losses through CRML’s statement of profit and loss. The remaining 7.5% ownership interest in Tanbreez is currently held by EUR. In connection with the EUR Transaction, CRML will acquire this remaining 7.5% interest to hold a 100% interest in Tanbreez. In accordance with IFRS 10, changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments give effect to the transition from the equity method of accounting to full consolidation upon the closing of the Stage 2 Acquisition. The subsequent increase in CRML’s ownership interest via the EUR Transaction is reflected as an equity transaction; no gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations, and the carrying amounts of the controlling interest and the non-controlling interest (“NCI”) are adjusted, reducing the NCI to zero to reflect CRML’s 100% ultimate ownership of Tanbreez.

 

This information should be read together with the following:

 

  the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CRML as of and for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024;
     
  the historical audited consolidated financial statements of CRML as of June 30, 2025 and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 and 2024;

  the historical audited financial statements of Tanbreez as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024;

  the historical unaudited condensed financial statements of EUR as of and for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024;  
     
  the historical audited condensed financial statements of EUR as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

 

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

 

Stage 2 Acquisition of Tanbreez

 

Basis of Consolidation and Control Assessment

 

Upon the completion of the Stage 2 Acquisition, the acquisition will be accounted for as a consolidation, in accordance with IFRS 10. CRML’s equity interest in Tanbreez increased to 92.5% at which point CRML is determined to control Tanbreez based on the following structural and operational indicators:

 

  Equity ownership: CRML holds a 92.5% voting and economic equity interest

 

  Operational Funding: CRML is responsible for funding the ongoing operations of the project.

 

  Corporate Governance: CRML has the unilateral ability to appoint the majority of the Board of Directors of Tanbreez.

 

Following the Stage 2 Acquisition, the remaining 7.5% equity interest in Tanbreez held by EUR represents a non-controlling interest (“NCI”). Because CRML maintains control, 100% of Tanbreez’s historical assets, liabilities, and operations are consolidated, with the 7.5% interest initially allocated to NCI within equity.

 

EUR Transaction

 

In connection with the EUR Transaction, the acquisition of EUR will be accounted for as a consolidation, in accordance with IFRS10. CRML will acquire 100% of EUR and, as a result the remaining 7.5% interest in Tanbreez held by EUR, will bring CRML’s total ownership of Tanbreez to 100%. In accordance with IFRS 10.23, changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for strictly as equity transactions (i.e., transactions with owners in their capacity as owners).

 

3

 

Consequently, the acquisition of the remaining 7.5% interest via the EUR Transaction will not result in the recognition of a gain or loss in the statement of operations. Instead, the transaction will adjust the carrying amounts of the controlling interest and reduce the NCI balance to zero, reflecting CRML’s ultimate 100% ownership of Tanbreez.

 

Accounting Acquirer Determination for Stage 2 and EUR Transaction

 

CRML was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Stage 2 and the EUR Transaction under IFRS 10 and IFRS 3. While the application of IFRS 3 involves a higher level of judgement, an evaluation of the relative facts and circumstances favored CRML as the acquirer, specifically:

 

existing CRML shareholders are expected to hold a majority of the ordinary shares of the combined company following both the Stage 2 and the EUR Transaction;

 

the board of directors of CRML following the both Stage 2 and EUR Transaction is expected to remain identical to the board of directors of CRML prior to the Transactions; and

 

the senior management of CRML following Stage 2 and the EUR Transaction is expected to remain identical to the senior management CRML prior to the Transactions.

 

Accordingly, Tanbreez and EUR are treated as the accounting acquirees.

 

Asset Acquisition Classification of Stage 2 Acquisition and EUR transaction

 

In accordance with IFRS 3, the Stage 2 Acquisition and the EUR Transaction are accounted for as an asset acquisition rather than a business combination, because Tanbreez and EUR lack the substantive inputs and processes required to meet the definition of a business:

 

Input – While the Tanbreez Project has been granted an exploitation license and has disclosed mineral resources, significant additional development is required. This includes converting the mineral resource estimates to proven or probable reserves, completing a bankable feasibility study (BFS), establishing a definitive mine plan, and procuring essential mining equipment. EUR inputs are primarily cash on hand, investment in Tanbreez and investment in CRML.

 

Process – Although Greg Barnes has been appointed as a strategic advisor to CRML, no operational systems, specialized workforces, or substantive infrastructure have been transferred to the Company. EUR has no significant process in place.

 

Output – Tanbreez is an exploration-stage project that is not sufficiently advanced to produce commercial goods or generate revenue. It lacks the integrated inputs and processes necessary to generate outputs (such as rare earth element production) at this stage. EUR’s primary output is linked to its interest in Tanbreez and its CRML investment.

 

Because the transactions do not constitute a business combination and the purchase consideration is settled via the issuance of equity instruments, the transaction falls within the scope of IFRS 2 (Share-based Payment) as an equity-settled asset acquisition.

 

4

 

Measurement Basis and Asset/Equity Recognition

 

In accordance with IFRS 2, the transaction is measured based on the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. CRML recognizes these identifiable items at their acquisition-date fair values, including property, plant, and equipment (PP&E), cash and cash equivalents, and other investments. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized as an increase in equity, measured by reference to the fair value of the net assets acquired. Because IFRS 3 does not apply, no goodwill is recognized, total consideration is entirely allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values, and transaction costs are capitalized as part of the initial asset cost basis. 

 

EUR Transaction

 

Reciprocal Shareholding and Treasury Share Reclassification (IAS 32)

 

Prior to the closing of the EUR Transaction, EUR will hold a historical investment in CRML. While this investment is initially recognized at fair value as part of the assets acquired via the transaction, under IAS 32 (Financial Instruments: Presentation), an entity is prohibited from recognizing its own equity instruments as a financial asset. Accordingly, the historical CRML shares to be acquired from EUR will be immediately reclassified as treasury shares and presented as a deduction from equity within the condensed combined financial statements, eliminating the reciprocal investment asset against equity.

 

Replacement Share-Based Payment Awards

 

As part of the EUR Transaction, the Company will replace existing share-based payment arrangements held by key management personnel (KMPs) of EUR with new equity-settled awards over the shares of CRML.

 

While the transaction is an asset acquisition outside the scope of IFRS 3, the allocation and modification principles of IFRS 2 are applied to evaluate these replacement awards. The grant-date fair value of the replacement awards is allocated between historical acquisition consideration and post-acquisition employee compensation based on the proportion of the vesting period completed at the acquisition date:

 

Pre-Acquisition Service Portion: The portion of the fair value attributable to service periods completed prior to the acquisition is capitalized and included in the cost basis of the assets acquired.

 

Post-Acquisition Service Portion: The portion attributable to remaining vesting periods is recognized as employee compensation expense over the prospective post-acquisition service period.

 

The replacement of these awards constitutes a modification under IFRS 2. The Company measures the fair value of the original awards immediately before the replacement and compares it to the fair value of the new awards at the grant date. Any incremental fair value granted is recognized as additional employee compensation expense over the remaining vesting period. The Company recognizes, at minimum, the grant-date fair value of the original awards, provided the original vesting conditions are met.

1.Initial Investment: An investment of $5,000,000 to acquire an initial 5.55% equity interest in Tanbreez.

 

2.Stage 1 Interest: The issuance of $90,000,000 of shares in CRML to acquire an additional 36.45% equity interest, bringing the Company’s total historical interest to 42.0%.

 

3.Stage 2 Interest: The requirement to increase the Company’s ownership interest in Tanbreez from 42.0% to 92.5% (an additional 50.50% equity interest) upon receiving approval from the Greenlandic Mineral Resources Authority (“Greenland MRA”) for the transfer of the asset.

 

Completion of Stage 2 Acquisition

 

On April 29, 2026, the Company and the Vendor completed the acquisition of the 50.5% ownership interest in Tanbreez (the “Stage 2 Acquisition”). At the closing of the Stage 2 Acquisition, following receipt of approval from the Greenland MRA, the Company issued 14,500,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), to the Vendor in a private placement exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. This share issuance increased CRML’s direct ownership interest in Tanbreez from 42.0% to 92.5%.

 

EUR Transaction

 

As of the closing of the Stage 2 Acquisition, the remaining 7.5% ownership interest in Tanbreez was held by the Company’s stockholder, European Lithium Limited (“EUR”). In connection with the EUR Transaction, CRML intends to acquire 100% of EUR. As a result of the acquisition of EUR transaction, CRML will acquire this remaining 7.5% minority interest, resulting in CRML holding a 100% ultimate ownership interest in Tanbreez and EUR.

 

Corporate Governance & Management

 

Under the terms of the HOA, CRML has the right to appoint two directors to the board of Tanbreez. On July 2, 2024, Tony Sage was appointed as CRML’s representative on the Board of Tanbreez. The Vendor is a company controlled by geologist Gregory Barnes. Pursuant to the HOA, Gregory Barnes serves as a strategic advisor to the board of CRML. In connection with the asset acquisition in the EUR transaction, the Company will replace existing share-based payment arrangements held by key management personnel (KMPs) of EUR with new equity-settled awards over the shares of CRML.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by SEC Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.”.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, gives pro forma effect to the Stage 2 Acquisition and the EUR Transaction as if they had been consummated on December 31, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2025, and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, give pro forma effect to the transactions as if they had been consummated on July 1, 2024, the earliest period presented.

 

The historical financial statements of CRML, Tanbreez, and EUR have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The condensed combined pro forma financial information reflects IFRS and is presented in US Dollars (“USD”).

 

To prepare the pro forma financial information, the historical financial statements of the target entities have been translated into USD to conform to the reporting metrics of CRML:

 

The historical financial statements of Tanbreez were originally reported using Danish Krone (“DKK”) and have been translated into USD.

 

The historical financial statements of EUR were originally reported using Australian Dollars (“AUD”) and have been translated into USD.

 

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to the Stage 2 Acquisition and the EUR Transaction. The adjustments are presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined company upon consummation. The pro forma information is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved or the future results that the combined company will experience.

 

Note 3 — Accounting for the Asset Acquisitions

 

Basis of Consolidation and Control Assessment

 

Upon the completion of the Stage 2 Acquisition, the transactions will be accounted for as consolidation, in accordance with IFRS 10. CRML’s equity interest in Tanbreez increases to 92.5% at which point CRML is determined to control Tanbreez based on the following structural and operational indicator:

 

  Equity ownership: CRML holds a 92.5% voting and economic equity interest

 

10

 

  Operational Funding: CRML is responsible for funding the ongoing operations of the project.

 

  Corporate Governance: CRML has the unilateral ability to appoint the majority of the Board of Directors of Tanbreez.

 

Following the Stage 2 Acquisition, the remaining 7.5% equity interest in Tanbreez held by European Lithium Ltd (“EUR”) represents a non-controlling interest (“NCI”). Because CRML maintains control, 100% of Tanbreez’s historical assets, liabilities, and operations are consolidated, with the 7.5% interest initially allocated to NCI within equity.

 

Subsequent Acquisition of EUR (Project Dynamo) EUR Transaction

 

In connection with the EUR Transaction, CRML’s intended acquisition of EUR will result in the Company acquiring the remaining 7.5% interest, bringing CRML’s total ownership of Tanbreez to 100%. In accordance with IFRS 10.23, changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for strictly as equity transactions (i.e., transactions with owners in their capacity as owners).

 

Consequently, the acquisition of the remaining 7.5% interest via EUR will not result in the recognition of a gain or loss in the statement of operations. Instead, the transaction will adjust the carrying amounts of the controlling interest and reduce the NCI balance to zero, reflecting CRML’s ultimate 100% ownership of Tanbreez and of EUR.

 

Accounting Acquirer Determination

 

CRML was determined to be the accounting acquirer under IFRS 10 and IFRS 3. While the application of IFRS 3 involves a higher level of judgement, an evaluation of the relative facts and circumstances favored CRML as the acquirer, specifically: relative voting rights post-transaction, the composition of the combined governing body, the selection of senior executive management, the relative size of the entities, and underlying terms of exchange. Accordingly, Tanbreez and EUR are treated as the accounting acquirees.

  

Measurement Basis and Asset/Equity Recognition

 

In accordance with IFRS 2, the transactions are measured based on the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. CRML recognizes these identifiable items at their acquisition-date fair values, including property, plant, and equipment (PP&E), cash and cash equivalents, and other investments. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized as an increase in equity, measured by reference to the fair value of the net assets acquired. Because IFRS 3 does not apply, no goodwill is recognized; total consideration is entirely allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values, and transaction costs are capitalized as part of the initial asset cost basis.

 

Reciprocal Shareholding and Treasury Share Reclassification (IAS 32)

 

Prior to the transaction, EUR held an historical investment in CRML. While this investment is initially recognized at fair value as part of the assets acquired via the transaction, under IAS 32 (Financial Instruments: Presentation), an entity is prohibited from recognizing its own equity instruments as a financial asset. Accordingly, the historical CRML shares acquired from EUR are immediately reclassified as treasury shares and presented as a deduction from equity within the condensed combined financial statements, eliminating the reciprocal investment asset against equity.

 

11

 

Replacement Share-Based Payment Awards

 

As part of the EUR Transaction, the Company will replace existing share-based payment arrangements held by key management personnel (KMPs) of EUR with new equity-settled awards over the shares of CRML. 

 

While the transaction is an asset acquisition outside the scope of IFRS 3, the allocation and modification principles of IFRS 2 are applied to evaluate these replacement awards. The grant-date fair value of the replacement awards is allocated between historical acquisition consideration and post-acquisition employee compensation based on the proportion of the vesting period completed at the acquisition date:

 

Pre-Acquisition Service Portion: The portion of the fair value attributable to service periods completed prior to the acquisition is capitalized and included in the cost basis of the assets acquired.

 

Post-Acquisition Service Portion: The portion attributable to remaining vesting periods is recognized as employee compensation expense over the prospective post-acquisition service period.

 

The replacement of these awards constitutes a modification under IFRS 2. The Company measures the fair value of the original awards immediately before the replacement and compares it to the fair value of the new awards at the grant date. Any incremental fair value granted is recognized as additional employee compensation expense over the remaining vesting period. The Company recognizes, at minimum, the grant-date fair value of the original awards, provided the original vesting conditions are met.

Reflects the issuance of 14,500,000 ordinary shares on April 29, 2026 under Stage 2 of the Heads of Agreement (HOA) to acquire an additional 50.5% ownership interest in Tanbreez Mining Greenland A/S (“Tanbreez”), bringing the Company’s total ownership stake to 92.5%. Following this transaction, EUR retained a 7.5% NCI in Tanbreez. 

 

Management evaluated the acquisition and concluded that Tanbreez did not constitute a business as defined under IFRS 3 Business Combinations, as it lacks substantive processes and outputs. Accordingly, the transaction is accounted for as an equity-settled asset acquisition within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. Because the transaction resulted in the Company obtaining control over Tanbreez, the financial statements of Tanbreez have been fully consolidated into the Company’s financial statements in accordance with IFRS 10.

 

The accounting mechanics and consolidation adjustments are applied as follows:

 

Derecognition of Investment in Associate: Reflects the step-acquisition mechanic moving from the equity method of accounting to full consolidation. The Company’s historical 42.0% equity method investment in Tanbreez, carrying a book value of $114,046,056, was derecognized upon gaining control.

 

Recognition of Assets and Capitalization of Exploration License: The identifiable historical net assets of Tanbreez were consolidated. The transaction value was measured by reference to the fair value of the assets received in accordance with IFRS 2.13A. The fair value of the net assets was preliminarily determined by the agreed upon implied value of the consideration paid of $116,000,000 for 50.5% of Tanbreez. As such the implied fair value of the net assets was deemed to be $229,702,970 and the 7.5% NCI held by EUR was estimated to be $17,227,723. Consequently, the difference in the fair value of the consideration paid and the fair value of the net asset acquired of $65,843,737 was expensed in accordance with IFRS 2.13A. (See Note 3 for the comprehensive purchase price allocation).

 

Establishment of Non-Controlling Interest (NCI): Reflects the recognition of the remaining 7.5% ownership interest in Tanbreez retained by European Lithium Limited (“EUR”). In accordance with IFRS, the Company has elected to measure this non-controlling interest using the proportional share of net assets method, resulting in an initial NCI allocation of $17,227,723 within the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Other Material Subsequent Transaction Adjustments  

 

  B. Reflects the closing of a Private Investment in Public Equity (“PIPE”) transaction subsequent to December 31, 2025. This adjustment represents the gross proceeds of $59,999,998 received from the issuance of 5,999,998 shares of ordinary shares at a purchase price of 10.00 per share.

 

  C. Reflects the subsequent settlement of certain liabilities through the issuance of 4,153,686 shares of ordinary shares, occurring subsequent to December 31, 2025. Specifically, this adjustment accounts for:

 

The extinguishment of trade and other payables totaling $12,800,000.

 

The settlement of outstanding warrant liabilities valued at $27,200,000.

 

The total carrying value of these settled obligations, amounting to $40,000,000, has been reclassified to share capital upon the issuance of the underlying shares.

 

  D.

Reflects equity transactions and adjustments occurring subsequent to December 31, 2025, as follows:

 

Stock-Based Compensation: Reflects the issuance of 610,000 ordinary shares in connection with the accelerated vesting and settlement of outstanding stock-based compensation awards triggered upon the closing of the transaction. This adjustment records a charge of $6,398,700 to accumulated deficit to recognize the accelerated stock-based compensation expense, with a corresponding credit to share capital.

 

Warrant Exercise: Reflects the issuance of 10,000 ordinary shares resulting from the subsequent cash exercise of 10,000 outstanding warrants. This adjustment records an increase of $70,000 to cash and cash equivalents, with a corresponding credit to share capital.

 

19

 

  E. Reflects the issuance of 150,262 shares of ordinary shares in connection with the acquisition of 70% of 60 Degrees, the total purchase price is $5,000,000 in cash and $2,000,000 in shares resulting in the issuance of 150,262 at $13.31 per share.

 

EUR Transaction Accounting Adjustments  

 

  F. Reflects the financial effects of the closing of the EUR Transaction and the transition to full consolidation of the underlying net assets. Management evaluated the acquisition under IFRS 3 Business Combinations and concluded that the acquired entity did not constitute a business, as it lacked substantive processes and outputs. Accordingly, the transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition settled through the issuance of equity instruments within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment.   In accordance with IFRS 2, the transaction was measured based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets received, assuming the transaction closed on December 31, 2025. The accounting mechanics and consolidation adjustments are applied as follows:

 

Equity Consideration and IFRS 2 Step-Up: Initial share consideration consists of 70,041,706 ordinary shares with an implied contract value of $751,493,625. Because the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was determined to be $772,646,841, the transaction value was measured by reference to the fair value of the assets received in accordance with IFRS 2.13A. Consequently, the share capital credit was stepped up by $21,153,216 to match the $772,646,841 total asset valuation.

 

Derecognition of Investment in Associate: Reflects the transition from the equity method of accounting to a fully consolidated presentation. The Company’s pre-existing historical investment in associate balance was derecognized upon gaining control.

 

Elimination of Historical Equity and Non-Controlling Interest: To reflect the capital structure of the combined legal entity and avoid double-counting, the historical equity accounts of the acquired entity were eliminated upon consolidation, including Share Capital of $65,363,177, Reserves of $15,285,904, and Accumulated Deficit of $795,197,794. Additionally, the historical non-controlling interest of $1 held by European Lithium Limited (“EUR”) was eliminated to reflect that the entity is now a 100%-owned, fully consolidated subsidiary of the Company.

 

  G. Reflects the elimination of the EUR held historical investment in CRML. While this investment is initially recognized at fair value as part of the assets acquired via the transaction, under IAS 32 (Financial Instruments: Presentation), an entity is prohibited from recognizing its own equity instruments as a financial asset. Accordingly, the historical CRML shares acquired from EUR are immediately reclassified as treasury shares and presented as a deduction from equity within the condensed combined financial statements, eliminating the reciprocal investment asset against equity.  
     
  H. Reflects the elimination of both the NCI held by CRML in Tanbreez and the EUR investment in the Tanbreez. According to IFRS 10.B96, any difference between the consideration paid (the book value of the investment in the acquired entity) and the carrying amount of the NCI adjusted must be recognized directly in equity (attributable to the parent).  

 

20

 

  I. Reflects the elimination of intercompany loan between EUR, Tanbreez and CRML.
     
  J.

Reflects the funding to Velta. On February 5, 2026 and May 19, 2026, the Company advanced funds of US$5,000,000 and US$6,000,000 to Velta respectively. The funds were advanced under a loan agreement and bear interest at 10% per annum and is secured over the assets of Velta. The loan is repayable the earlier of March 1, 2027, the occurrence of a mandatory repayment event of 10 business days following the completion of Velta pursuant to the binding agreement entered into and announced on January 27, 2026.

 

On February 26, 2026, EUR provided its subsidiary, European Lithium Ukraine LLC, with US$21,000,000 in funds to participate in the debt repurchase auction in connection with the acquisition of Velta. European Lithium Ukraine LLC has finalized the debt repurchase agreements and the funding of US$21,000,000 has subsequently been reassigned to EUR. The loan bears interest at 10% per annum and is secured over the assets of Velta. The loan is repayable the earlier of 1 March 2027, the occurrence of a mandatory repayment event of 10 business days following the completion of Velta pursuant to the binding agreement entered into and announced on January 27, 2026.
